Canon’s new megacam, the $4,000 EOS-1D Mark III was one of the biggest stars of the recent Photo Marketing Association show in Las Vegas. "It doesn’t capture more pixels than other cameras, just better ones", say Canon representatives. Its 10 Mpix CMOS sensor has bigger microlenses over each picture element, so more light is recorded.
The camera can shoot at 10 FPS with a sensitivity level of ISO 6400 without spoiling the images with digital noise. This sensitivity allows to take high quality pictures in the dark, or use of a very long lens without a tripod.
The EOS-1D Mark III is also the first dual-processor camera. Two Digic III chips handle all the information and processes.
This camera is an excellent choice for professional photographers.
